May rewind

MAY READS

So, May has been quite the month! Usually it's one or the other but in May I had a ton of fun reading wise even though the month has been very hectic and a lot of stuff happened but I actually feel like May has been a great month overall.

In May I...

Read 18 books which adds up to 4934 pages

I listened to 2 audiobooks, read 2 ebooks and 14 physical books!

I read 13 books by female authors and 5 by male authors

I read 6 new releases

I read 8 YA, 1 middle grade, 1 new adult and 8 adult books!

I read 14 books in Danish and 4 in English

I read 11 books I'd received for review, 1 of my own, 2 library books and 4 from storytel!

Had an average rating of 3.53

DNF'ed The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Jane Steele by Lindsay Faye

Bought 13 books, received 1 from my mom and received 14 for review! Only one of those 14 is in English though - although there's 1 from Hot Key on the way.

Continued reading both the Wildwitch series by Lene Kaaberbøl and the Calendar Girl series by Audrey Carlan

Finished 2 series; The Selection by Kiera Cass and Slide by Jill Hathaway

Technically started a new series, but since I'm unsure whether I want to continue I don't know where to put it. It's the Reaching out of the Shadows by Mannah Pierce.

That was quite the mouthful! I like having these statistics on hand though and I really like sharing them with you!

reading goals

I can't believe I managed to read 18 books this month and there's a chance that I might reach 19 books before the month is over! Because I'm writing this in advance on Monday and I post this wrap up on Tuesday, so I might finish one more book! I'll make a tiny update if that's the case.

It looks unbelievable! I can't believe I managed to read so much in a single month!

My favorite book of the month is the only one with a 5 star rating and that is Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover - I LOVED it! I also really enjoyed Som i et spejl which is a nonfiction book about literature! It was such a joy to read both of those books!

Last month my 'finished series' total was 9 and since I managed to finish 2 series this month I've reached my goal of 10 finished series this year! So that's the first goal reached!
I didn't reread anything or read any classics so I'm still at 2 out of 5 rereads and 5 out of 10 classics!
My YA ratio this month is still quite high but I managed to read just as many adult books so I call it a win! I had so much fun reading this month!
I focused on review books this month, just like I did in April, which is why I only read a single book from my shelf which was Slide by Jill Hathaway.
Once again I forgot about The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin but I'm thinking about starting over and reading 6 months at once.. Maybe I should do that tonight!

blogging goals
I finally got into blogging again! So even though I read a ton I also blogged a ton! I've also written a ton of reviews for my Danish blog and I finally got my blog plan in my bullet journal to work for me. I'm quite proud of myself to be honest and I definitely count May as the best month of the year so far!

On a more personal note
I wanted to talk a bit about what I actually did during May so here it is;

I went on a date with my boyfriend and I brought my baby brother along! We went to the cinema and watched CIVIL WAR and it was great!

I went on another date with my boyfriend, this time just us on a lunch date since we'd been together for 3 years and 5 months and we wanted to do something special!

My boyfriend got picked up by an ambulance and held at the hospital until the day after. It was quite nerve breaking and I'm happy he's okay!
